Peter Chapman is one of Canada’s busiest composers. Blending high-energy excitement with his signature endearing wit, Chapman has crafted an award winning sonic stamp that transcends genre - from comedies like Working Moms (Netflix) and The Lake (Amazon Prime) to gritty sci-fi horrors like Wynonna Earp (CTV), high-octane dramas like Skymed (Paramount+), and quirky animated kids shows like The Happy House of Frightenstein (Family Jr).
Peter’s first foray into music for TV came in 2001 when he dropped off a cassette of experimental pop tracks conceived in his bedroom with the security guard at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Halifax. Three weeks later, his music was being synced to CBC’s teen show Street Cents.
In the decades that followed, he became one of Canada’s go-to composers, producing renowned scores for hit video games such as LittleBigPlanet Karting, ModNation Racers, Guacamelee, and Sound Shapes (sharing a credit alongside Beck and Deadmau5), as well as hit HGTV shows Renovation Island & Leave It to Brian and Amazon’s comedy The Lake.
Along the way, he’s picked up two Canadian Screen Awards (with an additional three nominations), a Canadian Screen Music Award (with an additional six nominations), a SOCAN award, and an ASCAP award. He also placed first in Toronto’s Sound Battle Royale, beating out 31 other hip-hop producers, and released a viral Beastie Boys/Daft Punk remix record titled Daft Science, which was crowned by Billboard as one of the top Beastie Boys remixes of all time.
When not composing, Peter can be found trying to squeeze one more synthesizer into his Parkdale, Toronto, studio clubhouse.
